Viral had begun to play with Lightning a bit. After they had left the airfield she used the boost she gained doing her performance to shoot out ahead of Lightning’s XS12. Somehow she had gained massive ground on the mare behind her but she paid no attention. They both knew where they were going. As she was going through the tunnel she glanced at her mirror to find Lightning finally catching up, and doing so at a rapid pace. Viral just decided to let her past, she had already proved she could go faster. She did not expect the XS12 to shunt her at high speeds. Surprised, she attempted to see if maybe she mistook her for somepony else. No it was Lightning for sure, except now her eyes were a deep red with all expression replaced with nothing but anger and hate. Not to mention the dark eerie haze that surrounded them.

"Well, at least she was friendly for a little while." Viral commented on her current situation.

Playing mean was something she was used to. The situation she Found herself in was different from what she prepared for. She had been running with Lightning down Crawford. Then, without warning, Lightning had shunted her with considerable force jolting Viral's concept. Viral wished she hadn't glanced in her mirror. Those eyes, they were not the eyes of any sane pony. As she passed by Newton Short Fuze and Rolling Thunder turned off to join the chase. Viral could only assume it was for the same reason Lightning shunted her.

She now found herself on Crawford passing by the Junkyard near Angus Wharf. A Purple Mesquite was exiting the building as she passed by seemingly oblivious to her situation. Then again, it probably wouldn't be able to keep up anyway. She roared pass with all three of her former mates following close behind. She hooked a right onto 7th and punched it. Only the XS12 dared to keep pace with her. Off in the distance was a ramp. She hit the jump with precision, gaining a large chunk of boost from the stunt. The road opened up, going through Lawrence. Lightning backed off, her speed type boost unable to hold itself with the Concept’s stunt boost. Rolling Thunder and Short Fuze closed the gap and took over the chase. Viral was at her breaking point, she had already seen enough.

She had a piece she saved for only dire emergencies. She retrieved it and placed it next to her seat. A modified MP7, she had hoped it would never be used. Short Fuze came up alongside her left first. When he went for the slam Viral met him. His car was stronger and took the hit. If only he had been paying attention to the road. He found the divider that was being used as a ramp for the oncoming lane. one down, two left. She exited the tunnel heading for the coast of Silver Lake. The tight corners causing her GT Concept to slam into the walls denting the body and scratching paint. When she went to turn north on the coast she barely caught Thunder’s Opus XS charging hard, committing to a t-bone. She slammed her e-brake hard and slid left. The Opus already committed for the Concept to turn right impacted the guard rail with such force that it folded inward on itself and stopped dead in its tracks. Two dealt with. Lightning’s XS12 was prepared to take the corner. She turned left to meet the Concept as Viral spun it around. She got a good look at Lightning’s face. It was a face that showed no mercy. As the chase continued on Viral cut through a diner’s parking lot to head north up Cannon Pass. She had an idea, The XS12 could not handle high speed landings very well. If she could force Lightning to commit to a jump she had a chance. As she was about to pass by Uphill Drive she pulled onto the railroad. There was a super jump at the end of the line. Both vehicles launched off the ramp over the gas station below it. The landing was awkward for both of them with Viral just barely smoothing out before ducking right to avoid the second ramp before heading for the third. She jerked the wheel left to land on the road. Lightning wasn’t so lucky. The XS12 soared off into the trees, rolling a couple times before landing upside down in the mountain road nearby. Viral pulled another 180 turn and headed for Uphill Drive so as to throw off her trail. She raced up it at full speed making it to the crest of White Mountain in record time. At the peak she found four more cars, A Nakamura Ikusa GT, Carson Fastback, Rossolini Tempesta, and a Hunter Mesquite. She was tired of running and parked next to the closest car. She jumped out MP7 in hoof, it was her only means of defense. She barely had time to react to the changeling that pointed a M1911 straight in her direction.
